The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine)

Chapter 992 Everyone Retreated Except the Undercover Guard

The moon rose and set at night.

During the dawn, the sun was bright in the snowy plain. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Achilles and the three Golden Guards ordered the 50000 soldiers of Dragon Cavalry to set up camp.

After searching for Jack overnight, the men and the horses were very tired.

However, they failed to find Jack. Achilles and three Golden Guards were desperate.

In the army tent, the campfire was lit up.

The pot that was hung above the campfire was filled with boiling water and a gurgling sound could be

heard.

Achilles and the others sat around the campfire. They held cups of water in their hands but they were

silent.

The atmosphere in the entire tent seemed to be frozen as the weather was too cold.

The three Golden Guards would raise their heads to look sideways at Achilles from time to time.

Although Achilles was now the sergeant, he was still known as the former Chief Guard. He was also

the one who was personally involved in Jack’s disappearance this time. Therefore, from beginning to

end, the 50000 soldiers in Dragon Cavalry, as well as the three Golden Guards, obeyed his orders.

“Sergeant White…. Tonight, Polar Night will occur.”

One of the Golden Guards couldn’t help but tell him.

Yesterday, they had made up their mind to leave there. Now that something serious was going to

happen, they couldn’t delay any longer.

There were 300000 soldiers in total in Dragon Cavalry. The 50000 soldiers who were in the snowy plain

were a large force.

Once Polar Night occurred, it would be stressful and dangerous for both Thegiant City, which was short

of 50000 soldiers in Dragon Cavalry, and the 50000 soldiers that were still in the snowy plain.

In the meantime, the 50000 soldiers were riding their warhorses across the battlefield. The warhorses

galloped through the frontiers of the tribes that stayed in the south of Skyline Mountain.

They looked majestic and frightened all the tribes.

They were really demonstrating the intimidating power of Dragon Cavalry.

But as they were demonstrating how powerful are they, that meant many people were watching them

secretly.

The tribes who had never been attacked by Dragon Cavalry just wanted to sit quietly and saw what

they were trying to do.

When Polar Night occurred.

Not only were they unable to see properly, but even the environment was greatly altered.

If the 50000 soldiers in Dragon Cavalry had not returned to Thegiant City by that moment, there might

be many dangerous enemies in the snowfield trying to harm them.

As the Golden Guard spoke, the other two Golden Guards also looked at Achilles.

Achilles could sense that the three Golden Guards were looking at him.

He put down his cup, lifted his hands, and rubbed his tired face. Then, he said in a deep voice, “Order

them to return to the city, but I want to spread out the formation of the 50000 Dragon Cavalry as much

as possible on the way back. Moreover, search for Jack on the road back to Thegiant City one more

time. I really don’t believe that a person will suddenly disappear from the snowy plain.

In his opinion, Jack was in a state of madness at that time. Chasing after Commander Shawn was

simply as simple as slaughtering fish on a cutting board for him.

Even if the worst outcome was that the two of them directly fought until they died.

But if they died, they should find their corpses, right?

In the past few days, the 50000 soldiers in Dragon Cavalry had searched for Jack in the snowfield back

and forth several times, but he couldn’t spot any footprints left by Jack.

This made Achilles felt like Jack had vanished into thin air.

But… was this possible?

“It’s possible, but I’ve actually always had a suspicion.”

One of the Golden Guards nodded in response to Achilles’s question. He was stunned for a while and

added, “Do you guys think it’s possible that Chief Guard Hughes had gone straight to a place deep

inside the snowfield where it was not in Skyline Mountain? That’s why we are not able to find him after

looking in the places that are located in the south of Skyline Mountain.”

However, as soon as he voiced out his suspicion, another Golden Guard quickly denied the statement.

“Impossible!”

The Golden Guard said in a deep voice, “Don’t you think about it. How far is the place where the battle

took place from Skyline Mountain? If we take Skyline Mountain as the boundary, we have searched the

area in the largest radius possible. I think that Jack will not go further north again as crossing Skyline

Mountain at this season is very dangerous and needs a lot of time. Jack is simply chasing after

Commander Shawn and it is impossible that he does not consider these risks.”

His voice was decisive, but it made the Golden Guard who was speculative could not refute his

sentence.

“Let’s go. The people in Thegiant City need us. If we can’t find Jack on the road back to the city, we can

only go back to the city and return to meet the Commander with empty hands and prepare to be

punished by him.”

Achilles got up. His face was gloomy and helpless. His eyes displayed a look as if he was very

reluctant to leave.

The three Golden Guards heard his words.

However, they looked at each other.

They had no doubt about Achilles’s words.

They all knew that the relationship between Jack and Zenith was very close. They could know how

much Zenith valued Jack when they saw Zenith demoted Achilles and made Jack became the Chief

Guard of Dragon Cavalry directly.

Now that Jack was nowhere to be found. So, they must expect that Zenith would be furious and punish

them who were responsible to find him.

Just as the 50000 soldiers in Dragon Cavalry spread out their formation and marched towards Thegiant

City.

In the snowy plain, many small caravans appeared in the tribal villages.

These caravans had come from the territory when Jack disappeared. They scattered around just to find

Jack.

However, just like Dragon Cavalry, after days of rushing around in the snow and wind trying to search

for any news about Jack, they didn’t find anything.

This made the leaders of the caravans all baffled. How could a living man simply disappear?

Moreover, the way the caravans tried to search for Jack was stealthier than the way the soldiers in

Dragon Cavalry did which were overbearing.

One of the advantages of being stealthy was that the people in foreign territory would not be so

guarded against them and they could pry information from the tribes in foreign territory.

However, they didn’t find out any useful information.

As Polar Night was about to occur, not only did the 50000 soldiers in Dragon Cavalry begin to retreat,

but even the various clans of the Grand Freemasons in Northern territory also gave up and retreated in

unison.

This suddenly made the foreign territory which had become lively for a while, a little less lively.

The only ones who still persisted in searching for Jack diligently were those people who were sent out

by Patrick.

In the west of Skyline Mountain.

A group of black-cloaked people on horses were galloping wildly through the snow and wind.

There were about a hundred soldiers riding the horses. They were all wearing black cloaks. As the

horses galloped steadily in a muffled voice, they invariably displayed an aura that would make others

feel suffocated as if they were going to kill others.

This troop was clearly the Undercover Guards sent by Patrick.

They were the only well-trained unit in the 100000 people who were assigned to search for Jack

besides Dragon Cavalry!

They had the mission to protect Patrick. Therefore, they had been trained intensely for many years and

had great power. When they faced the expert who tried to assassinate Patrick alone, they might seem

a little weak. However, when they faced a large number of people who tried to assassinate Patrick,

their abilities could be seen.

Over the year since they were recruited and trained by Patrick, they had already helped Patrick resolve

crises secretly and silently countless times.

“Boss, are we really going to bypass Skyline Mountain and go deeper into the snowy plain?”

One of the men asked worriedly at the front of the troop.

The man who was being questioned slowly took off the black hood on his head to his back and said

with a cold and stern expression under the wind and snow.

“In order to find the young master, Old Master can even disregard his life. We have searched all over

the southern part of Skyline Mountain, but there are no clues to find the young master. Now, the only

way is to go deeper into the snowy plain.”

As he said that, he looked sideways at the man who asked the question with a cold gaze and smiled,

“Why? Old Master has spared his life to complete the mission and you are still worried about your life?”

The man being stared at by the leader instantly had a shiver ran down his spine.

He shook his head hastily and said, “Boss, we will die for the sake of Old Master. But, we are the only

troop that has bypassed Skyline Mountain. The area located in the north of Skyline Mountain is so big

and endless. If we search aimlessly, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. We must find a drastic

measure to complete the mission.”

The man frowned, “Go to the Hun Royal Palace. It is the centre of the hundred foreign tribes in the

snowfield. If we go there, it is sure that we can get some clues if we pay the people some money!”
